Hon. Henry G. Taraer.

By request we publish the follow
ing complimentary allusion to our
worthy congressman, the Hon. II.
G. Turner, from the Augusta
Chronicle. Congressman Turner
Is worthy of the good words
spoken by our Augusta c5ntem-
porary:
We see that in contested e;ec-
ton case, Mr. Turner, OF Georgia,
as usual, bore himself with distinc-
ton as u great lawyer and ready
debater. Mr.. Tu ner never fritters
himself away on lifting matters,
like SO many congressman, who
think there will be a disturbance
Of the solar system unless they
make daily parade of their names
IL the Record. The wise, pro
found and powerful Georgian
awaits his opportunity, when du-
ty calls him to the front, and then
he not only meets with the serious
consideration of the House, but
demonstrates to the country his
superiority on any field where he
has become chosen leader. A
man like Tu,n2r II We fall; OF
riviting attention when he rises to
speak, in any cause of moment.
He has firmly established his sin
cerity, his knowledge, his prepare
ton and courage. Such a man
never fails before such an audi
ence, because he has a message of
Importance to deliver and has al
so the ability to advocate his cause
to the uttermost, and trium phant
ly defend himself and his duty
against any assault from any quar-
ter high or low.
Georgia is proud of Mr.. Turner
and his District is specially hon
ored by its Representative who
Las built up a solid and enduring
reputation before tn : people of the
whole country.

Site for the New Mill.
C7ecinl to tbe Ne,rs 1nd Coyrier

Special to the Neus and Courier.
COLUMBIA, October 10.-The corpora
tors of the Columbia mills, while waiting
for the business season to open with ad-
vantage their books of subscription, have
been looking around for a site. It was
deemed best to have one on the Canal
bank, for the reason that when that public
work shall be completed the mill will
have recourse to water power. Capt. R.
S. Desportes and Mr.. George K. Wright
made careful examination OF all the
sites on the Canal and determined to
secure, if possible, one belonging to Col.
S. A. Pearce, located near Gervais street.
After various conferences on the sub
ject Col. Pearce notified the corporation
this afternoon OF his readiness to make a
present to the company of the desired site
of two acres and to sell eight acres adjoin-
ing, which which would be required for
cottages, for s375 an acre. This is lib
eral offer, and is creditable to Col. Pearce.
It is thought that with the assurance of
this fine site on such reasonable terms the
stock in the company vii: be readily
